    Should be. Try rebooting in UEFI mode. Then give us a final disk management screenshot.
    Here it is :)

    The first partition is System Reserved? You don't need that one any more. And you have 1.7 GB of empty space at the end of the drive.

    So i can just delete the "System Reserved" partition and add the unallocated space to the C: ?
    Also I have done the "reagentc /enable" :)

    If you wanted to, yes. You'd have to use Diskgenius to do it. I'm off to bed....it's 4:20 am here Glad you finally got it all sorted out!

    So i tired to merge the unallocated space with the C: pratition using AOMEI Partition Assistant, since I the order of the Partitions on the disk was like this:
    System Reserved
    C:
    (Next 2 i don't remember what the order of them was)
    MSR
    S:
    Unallocated space

    And this made it that i couldnt just add the unallocated space to the C: partition since there were 2 partitions in between the C: partition and the unallocated space.

    Now everything seemed to go well, it went step by step, restarting my pc, moving the S: or the MSR to the end of the disk, after the moving the other to the left it. Than it restarted to start the merge of the C: partition and the unallocated space, that was completed successfully, but after it restarting again, i had my asus BIOS starting "Automatic Repair" and, after restarting another time, it came up with the same thing, following a windows screen saying it cant recover it.
    It says that there are logs at E:\windows\system32\logfiles\srt\srttrail.txt and i still can go to my USB flash drive and setup a new windows.

    So is there any way to recover my stuff 😟 ?

    When i log in into system recovery it says that there is no recoverypoint

    Boot into the USB flash drive. When you get to the first setup screen, press Shift + F10 to open a command prompt. Run
    diskpart
    sel dis 0
    lis par

    What is the result?

    Dis 1 is the disc ive been working with so i assume you mean that one, and it shows the following (i cant post pictures on this website on mobile sadly enough):
    Partition 1 - Primary - 578MB - 1024KB (this is the System Reserved)
    Partition 2 - Primary - 476GB - 580MB (this is the C:)
    Partition 3 - System - 300MB - 476GB (this is the EFI)
    Partition 4 - Reserved - 16MB - 467GB

    Partition 3 - System - 300MB - 476GB (this is the EFI)
    Partition 4 - Reserved - 16MB - 467GB
    For comparison, this is how mine looks:
    Code:
      Partition ###  Type    
      -------------  --------
      Partition 1    System       EFI
      Partition 2    Reserved
      Partition 3    Primary      C:
      Partition 4    Recovery     Recovery
    and

    Code:
    DISKPART> sel part 2
    
    Partition 2 is now the selected partition.
    
    DISKPART> detail part
    
    Partition 2
    Type    : e3c9e316-0b5c-4db8-817d-f92df00215ae
    ....
    partition 2 is Microsoft Reserved Partition - Wikipedia

    Also do
    diskpart
    lis vol

    Is your Windows volume still C:?

    You will want to build a new EFI system partition. Let's put it at the front where it belongs.

    diskpart
    sel dis 1
    sel par 1
    del par override
    cre par EFI size=100
    for fs=fat32 quick
    ass letter=s
    cre par MSR size=16
    exit
    bcdboot C:\Windows /s S: /f UEFI
    exit

    Reboot
